LIFE CHANCE TRUST

We help young people aged 16-25 to move beyond childhood trauma and find their way to happy, healthy and safe adult lives, through mentoring, training, advocacy and practical support to overcome social, emotional, behavioural, or educational difficulties. By furthering understanding of developmental trauma, we aim to combat stigma and shame and help to break inter-generational cycles of exclusion.
